Once I started using the Law of Attraction consciously in my daily life, I started worrying about my thoughts more. I started noticing that I didn’t feel good as much as I thought I did. I began to worry that if I thought “wrong thoughts,” my life would crumble as the Law of Attraction brought me more things I thought about. I began to fear my own thoughts and feelings. I was afraid that if I thought something that didn’t feel “good” that I would have to suffer the consequences when the thoughts manifested. I started trying to NOT think certain thoughts, which is next to impossible. If I tell you NOT to think about a red rose, you have already thought about it before you finish this sentence. For a while I was caught in a “thought trap” where I tried to only be “positive” and I tried to resist “negative” thoughts and emotions. If you have ever done this, you know that it isn’t much fun at all. Being cheery when you feel cranky feels bad in the end, but if you are afraid to feel cranky…you are stuck. A happy mask doesn’t change the way you feel inside, so you are really not paying attention to your feelings, thoughts, and emotions at all. You are just ignoring all of it. Is that what we are supposed to do? Is Law of Attraction about ignoring how you feel? Of course, the answer is a resounding NO!

While the thoughts you think and the emotions you feel absolutely do create your point of attraction, your feelings are your indicator of where you are on the emotional/vibrational scale. If you are unfamiliar with the emotional/vibrational scale, you can read more about it HERE. Your feelings are not to be feared because they give you important information about your present state of allowing. Your feelings tell you when you are connected to Source Energy, and also when you are resisting your Source Energy. It’s like your gas gauge in your car. You don’t get mad at the gas tank because it indicates that you need to stop and fill the tank, do you? (You may not like how often it reads empty, but that’s a different thing! LOL!) Fearing your feelings and pretending to be happy when you aren’t is just like putting a “smiley face” sticker over your gas gauge. You ignore the important information, and pretty soon there is a crisis much bigger than you had hoped for. So I learned to let my feelings be my feelings, and I started filling my emotional/vibrational tank when my “feeling gauge” told me to. I stopped fearing my thoughts and feelings, and just rode them up and down the Vibrational scale with ease. I relaxed more, and I found it to be very freeing.

I will post a list of tips that I use to fill my emotional/vibrational tank soon. Until then, just be easy about your feelings and emotions. What ever you feel is real, but it is not permanent. You are never stuck in one emotion for very long, and you can always find the best thought you have access to. Acknowledge what is, and then look for relief from the feeling. Ignoring is not a good way to manage your emotions, but feeling fully is. It’s OK to feel your feelings, and today is a great day to give yourself this permission, if you haven’t done so already. Be Well, Marie-GP
